Courses
If you'd like to take your interest in this area further, the Open University might have a course for you - regardless of where you live. Many OU courses are available worldwide, making use of the web, email and electronic conferencing. The exact range of courses available to you will depend on the country in which you live.
If it's science which interests you, try discovering science. This short course introduces a range of topics from global warming to the origin of life, ecology and genetics to earthquakes and volcanoes, chemical reactions and the structure of atoms to the origin of the universe.
For more on technology, a new style of course called You, Your Computer and the Net - as befits its subject, the course is studied entirely online, examining how the PC and the internet developed, the implications of the information technology revolution, and how the internet affects our lives, work and business.
